it is evident that a revolving1 means may be also provided in therinsing tank if desired after the same manner as that herein describedandv illustrated with respect to the .vashing tank.

While the forms of the invention herein shown and described are what arebelieved to be the preferred embodiments thereof, minor changes may bemade in the form Without departing from the spirit and scope of theinvention as set forth in the claims.

What I claim as new is l. ln a dish Washing machine, a tank, spaced lugsat one side of the tank, a bracket positioned upon the bottom of thetank and having one side thereof engagingthc lugs, and a spring havingone end secured Within the tank remote from the lugs and its other endresiliently projecting above the bracket.

2. A dish Washing machine comprising a tank, a bracket therein, a spiderplatform' revolubly supported by the bracket, a dish basket mounted uponthe platform, and au tomaticallyreleasable means carried by the platformin engagement with the basket.

3. A dish Washing machine comprising a tank, a bracket mounted therein,a revolnble shaft supported by the bracket and having a projecting upperend terminating in a conical portion, a spider platform upon the np perend of the shaft and adapted for rotation therewith, resilient. cliplingers carried by the arms of the platform and projecting in similardirections, and a basket journaled upon the conical portion of the shaftand arranged for .interengagement 'with the fingers during the normalrotation of the platform.

t. ln a dish Washing machine, a tank, a bracket comprising in part, twooppositelydisposed arms, rigid members carried by said tank for engagingone of said arms, resilient means engaging the other arm to hold thebracket in place, a dish basket supported' on said bracket, drivingmeans for the basket carried by said bracket, and means inter' posed ofy the basket and bracket for locking' the ba :15. .et to the saiddriving means.
